anamul is a t20 n one day specialist,shdve kept him instead of putting him in test squad as an opener,and shamsur could come for ayub as ayub looks not confident thought he got more runs than anamul,riyad is good at number 6/7,i think batting wont be an issue coz someone alwez hold one side,n now we have mominul,we can rely on him.shakib shd come back n contribute with his bat,may be a 70plus will do,bowling will be heavily dependent on spin once again,both razzak n gazi r great but gazis batting gives him that one point bonus.im excited,hope bd white wash kiwis once again

They named 15 players for the ODIs. I would drop Rubel, Naeem, Zia, and Shamsur fom the playing 11. Anamul and Mahmudullah have good ODI and T20 records so let them continue playing in short formats. Keep both Razzak and Gazi as they both have such fine ODI figures. If mortaza is not fit, Zia can be his replacement. Definitely keep 4 spinners in the team, 2 leg and 2 off, as NZ has weakness against spin. Mushfiq should step up and take #3 spot as he is the most technically correct batsman in the team. It is time for him to get promoted. Mahmudullah does a better job towards the end; he is a good finisher.

bangladesh last apperance against zim mahmudullah was the highest scorer 75 and recently he was also in great touch too at DPL , mahmudullah average more than 55 on his last 10 odis , bcz of him we won 5 match odi series against WI while he fill up the sakib gap , he is definitely a good player without a dout , its just a bad time he is having at test , but surely he will bounce back , he played nearly a 100 odi match with top best average for bd 33+ after sakib , indeed he played enough match already to prove himself

Naeem Islam will probably be the best choice for No.3. He hasn't played since WI series where he was great.. so he deserves another go.. Also if Shamsur is opening, Anamul could play 3 as he has done that in domestic for a greater amount of time.
